Paris 2024 boxing: All results, as Uzbekistan’s Bakhodir Jalolov secures back-to-back golds in men’s +92kg division 

Bakhodir Jalolov has retained his Olympic title as he battled to gold in the Olympic Games Paris 2024 men’s +92kg boxing final in Roland-Garros Stadium on Saturday, 10 August.

The boxer from Uzbekistan dominated Spain’s Ayoub Ghadfa to win his second Olympic gold medal after his hand was raised in victory at Tokyo 2020.

“This is history for Uzbekistan, and I’m emotional because becoming a two-time Olympic champion was my dream," said Jalolov after his win. "Now, I feel very happy, and I will continue my career as a professional boxer.”

Ghadfa was proud of his performance but disappointed that he could not fulfil his long-held dream of becoming Olympic champion.

“I want Olympic gold. If I stay an amateur I’m going to fight for it. If I turn pro, I want to be world champion. I know that sounds big and it’s impossible. But nothing is impossible, you have to fight for it and follow your dreams.”

The final bout of Olympic competition at these Games in Paris fittingly featured the heaviest weight class of them all, with every punch capable of delivering a bout-ending blow.

In the end, it was the larger, hungrier Jalolov who came out on top, securing a one-sided win against a gallant but outclassed Ghadfa.
